does anyone else fear that their T reads this board and specualtes that its you writing it? there's so many things i've wanted to post asking, stating, looking for feedback but horrified that T reads this and will knows its me!

[pbutton]

It has crossed my mind. But then I realize that I don't read boards about accounting in my spare time. And he doesn't seem to be fond of computers. And truly, even if he did read my posts and know it was me, it would help him understand me better, and that can't be a bad thing.

I thought I was the oy one having panic attacks over this!!!!!! Sometimes I post on here and I just imagine my T like seeing it and I'm like "o no! Delete delete delete delete!"

But. I don't this she does, besides if she did it wud only help. Even if it was embarassing

yeah, me too. I post enough details that I'm sure he would recognize me if he came on here.

That is so me!! I get it all typed up and that thought pops in my head and im all "NUH UH NOOOOO WAY AM I TAKING THAT CHANCE!"

[GoodPoint]

YEP! I think it's mainly paranoia though, as my T doesn't seem to have a lot of time to browse places like this... and has admitted to being "not very computer savvy." Still...

[rainbow8]

I mention "my forum" a lot to my T and have said it's PC but I know she doesn't have time to read here. I end up telling her everything I post so it wouldn't bother me if she read my threads and posts. She'd for sure know it was me! What does bother me is that I may have posted too many details about her but I try not to do that.

[beautiful.mess]

I do wonder about this sometimes. Worse things have happened to me for sure...but still, I'd be mortified.

[stopdog]

I sort of tell the one I see the same sort of stuff I post except on the rare occassion I say something sort of nice about her in a post.

Nope, I feel safe in the knowledge that even if my T read boards like this, which I know she doesn't, has no need too, that she would stop reading if she felt she knew someone for privacy reasons. I guess feeling that protected stops me having fantasies around being 'found out' or whatever.

[precious things]

This kinda goes along with the "can my t observe me throughout the week" thread. I mean, realisitically, they have 30-40 patients/clients a week so imagine trying to keep track of that many people on an obscure board. I will admit to having a thread of mine deleted because the thought of t reading it freaked me out....

[sconnie892]

I think about that every time I post - like right now. But since I was the one who wanted T following me around the other day, I can't worry about it too much. I would be mortified if she saw some of my posts about how horrible I felt after a session, but I was being honest.

I am more worried about T seeing some posts on Facebook. I discovered we have mutual friends! Now I am very careful about what I post on some people's pages.

[skysblue]

I'm sure my T is way too busy to bother reading about what MORE clients are venting about. She probably gets more of that than she needs in her practice. I can't imagine her trolling the boards. And besides that, I believe she respects boundaries. She would recognize that coming to these forums where those of us in therapy need a support group would be a boundary crossing.

But if you're worried, throw in some crumbs that would lead your T the other direction. For example, if you live in the South, make some commentary about yesterday's snow or if you're tall and skinny, complain about how fat you are. That will throw them off.

OMG it is so hard to be a bikini model. The long hours, the sand between my toes, the stacks of fan mail. It is all taking its toll on me and I need therapy. Good thing I have a female T named Candi Floofykins to see me through these troubling times.

Now, that made me LOL!

Actually I bet you could show that post to my T and he'd probably pick it out as me. That's the kind of crap I come up with when I can't find it in me to be serious in therapy.

your t must love having you for comic relief, if nothing else!

I own my own forum and my T has a forum, shes read both places and used to write posts in hers. Ive got an online diary shes been part of. I dont know why but i find it comforting, not fearful, to know she reads stuff i write.

[likelife]

The thought of T reading stuff I post here freaks me out too. But, like others have said, I try to remind myself that it would probably help for her to know these things.

[granite1]

LOL my T would have no problem picking out my posts LOL after all i do tend to post about everything in my session,SORRY

[BlessedRhiannon]

Half of the things I post here, I go on to email to my T...I just kinda test it out here first! So, I wouldn't mind if my T read my posts and knew it was me. However, I can pretty much guarantee that she wouldn't be reading these boards. She just doesn't seem like she's overly interested in message boards and seems like she has other things to do with her time outside of the office.

I think my T likely has other things to be doing, but I don't think I'd actually mind if she did see my posts - it's not like I really post anything I don't wind up telling her anyway. I gave up on the 'Dear T' thread and just write emails, lol. I might just be a little embarrassed that she'd think I was so obsessed with therapy that I spend so much time on a board about it - but ,well, it's interesting - and I'm trying to 'whittle the world down to a more manageable size'... that, and I like the company here

I was laughing like a maniac all alone in my room when I read this...

literally...I looked like this -->

[CantExplain]

I'm not at all afraid that T would read this.
1. She's not fond of computers.
2. She wouldn't have time.

But suppose she did. What possible harm could it do? She is already bound by confidentiality and I want her to know everything about me.

Same here. I've gotten to the point I don't care anyway. I even put my pic on my profile page here...THAT is how much I don't think my T would ever look here.
